  The SAP error message 1F052 ("Enter both date fields for the interval") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a report or transaction that requires a date range, but one or both of the date fields are left blank. This error is common in various SAP modules where date intervals are necessary for processing data, such as in reporting or data extraction.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  One or both of the date fields (e.g., start date and end date) are not filled in.
  The date fields are incorrectly formatted or contain invalid values.

  Check User Permissions: In some cases, user permissions may restrict access to certain date ranges. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the data for the specified dates.
